I think the general issue they have is that pretty much nobody who cares chooses Windows actively. It's mostly gamers, which seem to be on the way out, corporations who don't care about this, and creatives who, for…

I used to have galaxy S phones with some aftermarket keyboard whose name I forget. It was quite popular at the time, and was fairly happy with it. When I moved from a gs5 to an iPhone 7, I was amazed at how much better…
Windows does this, too. So I really wonder how come two companies implemented the same borked behavior.
I do this too, but with ZFS. So, since the snapshots have the creation timestamp in their name, it's obvious which drive has the latest data. But I also tend to remember if I went to the office or to my parents' house…
Right. I sympathize with the sentiment. But, somehow, adding even more complexity to an already ridiculous tax code doesn't seem like a good idea.
> The walls are thick They're often quite thin. See all the comments complaining about being able to hear their neighbor take a piss.
The issue with this approach is that long-time locals will see the market price of their homes rise with the newcomers'. So if you base the tax on that market value, the locals have it very rough.

Don't know about Carrefour and Auchan in Germany, but there are plenty of Aldis and Lidls in France, at least in the Paris region.
They ask you to create one if you want to save your settings or something. You don't have to go through with it. But the software does suck big time. The other day it didn't start on my machine because reasons. Had to…
I never really cared for Gnome so I've never actually used it, but I can't say I'm surprised. But this has worked in KDE since version 3, like, 20 years ago? And also with pasystray running under i3, since before win11…
IME it works fine on Intel iGPUs, too. I even use multiple ratios with no issue (constant 125% on the laptop, 100% on an external screen and 200% on a different screen at work). Contrary to Windows, this also works well…
I don't use windows too often, but I remember I was happy with an update a year or two ago which allows changing the volume by scrolling on the tray icon. Now, of course, it still doesn't work with a touchpad, but baby…
> Bonus, you get to call them unpatriotic Not sure that this is as big a bonus as you think. "Patriotism" is a bad word around these parts.
> It’s the food noise that’s the problem and it’s a mental issue. Yes, I've been through this, and I think it's the reason I got fat in the first place. I had a constant feeling of hunger, but which was "fake", as some…
This. If I cook a meal with mostly veg and lean meat, I can't overeat. I'll feel full fairly quickly and, most importantly, not think about food 2 hours later. But even with this kind of food, if I figure "sure, lemme…
I think what's important is to consider the difficulty of making these choices, and to set up your environment so that it's easier to make the right choice. I've lost weight and kept it off by making sure I don't have…
While I agree with the sentiment that there are tradeoffs, and I, personally, have a bunch of Ikea furniture that I'm happy with since it does exactly what I need it to, I think "just don't take it apart" doesn't work…
I think the issue with your rebuttal is that companies think they have a very specific problem that needs solving, so they need bespoke software. Just read on the various HN posts where people complain about PMs moving…
Don't know about "Europe", but in France they're looking into setting up something similar for no-shows. Not sure where the law's at, but it's being considered at least.
What I want is something that isn't distracting. Most natural sounds are fine. The main exceptions that come to mind are some birds that are extremely annoying, such as seagulls, and, for some reason, fast-flowing water.
He's been complaining about this pretty much since we started working, more than 10 years ago.
I prefer to work in silence. But by that I mean actual silence. However, I live in a city where there's construction going on I can hear through my window. If I have to work from the office, there'll be colleagues…
I have a habit of going for a daily walk of about one hour and intentionally avoid bringing headphones to just be with my thoughts. But I've noticed that if I have something on my mind, I just tend to ruminate and spin…
